In the local news feed a senior was walking across the parking lot after buying her groceries and was attacked. The guy said "Don't fight! Give me your wallet!" Scared of course but in seconds she recalled that thing she had hanging on her purse. The alarm. She set if off and the guy froze and then ran off. This alarm is 125dbs of loud noise.
The Boise police said that in the month of November attacks on seniors have sky rocketed.
You can get one at Walmart for between $6-$12.

I do too. I think so. I'm never anywhere alone so that's good.

People are thinking about buying Christmas presents now so will often carry more money than usual with them . I know this wasn’t the case in your post but we are constantly reminded to be vigilant , more so, at this time of year, and carrying alarms is a great idea.

We seniors are considered easy prey on every level and have to be extra careful.

Yes, and these thieves deserve a loud noise right in their ears.
